I bought it to take photos of Tuesday of course, mostly because I wanted more control over the focus, but I had to wait for my tax check hence not having it in time for Australia.<br /><br />Alastair, nice work. Think I had all of those except the Buteo hawk. Where is he? The ducks were just an added level of excitement to the vulture's arrival.Jachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05612475942451185685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21563252.post-7640142100690672102009-04-30T22:00:00.000+10:002009-04-30T22:00:00.000+10:00Wow Alastair, you did a great job of identifying t...Wow Alastair, you did a great job of identifying those birds and I think we both need one of those cameras.
